Carrot and Celery Soup is a light, flavorful, and healthy dish made with fresh carrots and celery in a savory broth. This vegan and gluten-free soup is easy to make and perfect for a cozy meal or a light lunch.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 medium carrots, peeled and diced

3 celery stalks, chopped

4 cups vegetable broth (or water for a lighter version)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional, for added warmth)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add the Carrots and Celery: Add diced carrots and chopped celery to the pot. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
  3. Add the Broth and Seasonings: Pour in vegetable broth (or water), and add thyme, cumin (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Cover the pot and cook for 20-25 minutes, until carrots and celery are tender.
  5. Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. For a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.
  6. Finish with Lemon Juice: Stir in lemon juice (optional) for extra brightness.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with parsley (optional), and serve hot.

Notes

For a creamier version, blend in coconut milk or cashew cream at the end.

Add beans for extra protein, such as chickpeas or kidney beans, towards the end of cooking.

For more spice, add red pepper flakes or jalapeños while cooking the onions and garlic.
